Similar, but less able to handle the heavy load represented by the GMC Motorhome. Really too bad, because the 4 speed transmission would be nice.
I cannot image that the 350 would be a happy choice either.
Just my take.

Correct.

Quote:

The THM425 was developed for the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado and the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. A lighter-duty transmission known as the THM325 replaced the THM425 in both car lines after the 1978 model year. 1979 and later longitudinal engine front-wheel drive vehicles used the THM325. The THM325 became the THM325-4L with an overdrive added in 1982, but all vehicles using this transmission switched to more-conventional transverse engine mounting in 1986.

OBTW: This area of the forum is for the sale of coaches and parts. Kind of like a swap meet. NOT about parts swaps.

This question, while answered here, should have been asked in the main forum... most readers use the email list and never even see this area. Rolling Eyes
